Well, lets see how long it stays this way until an edit war starts.

Also:

BBQCoin ??? are you (I assume it was you) serious?

If you add this Zombiecoin then where is Namecoin? (and IOCoin, Solidcoin...)

If people are talking about it and it has a website, it's probably worthy enough for the list. MicroCash will be put on. IOCoin, not so much...

If you have the time and energy, you should probably split it up in the sections:

1. "Full" Currencys (Better word needen) Full Exchange between other currencies

Your list, but for P2P currently only Bitcoin and Litecoin.

2. Buy only / one way currencies:

Lindendollars
Amazon Coins
etc.

3. Stand alone Currencies:

WOW Gold
etc.

This would not let it look like a Cryptocurrency advertising Site (what it currently is) and add a little more credibility.


I would still remove all the other P2P currencies if you don't want to get this Site edited until it isn't recognizable any more or get it deleted as a whole.

Why litecoin? That seems to be arbitrary.

I don't know that so many people would care to start edit wars over dead altcoins?

If you remove them I guess they'll just pop up on 'the list of all cryptocurrencies' instead  ;D

Although I think it's better to put up a link to xorxor's excellent list here, because the term 'digital currency' is too broad and vague. For example, you can probably make an argument that a majority of world's currencies are now 'digital'.
